Tips for Searching in VoodooPad

Searching the Document

You can perform a search for something in your document by using the search bar in the toolbar or by choosing Edit -> Find -> Find in Document This will pop up with a list of all the pages that match the criteria. Clicking on the page will show it below, similar to Apple Mail.

You have the option of editing the page from within the search results, or double clicking the title of the page to view it in the regular mode.

You aren't limited to just searching for one word, there are in fact a lot of options for searching within the document. A list and examples are below:

Searching the Page

You can perform a search for something in the page you're currently viewing by choosing Edit -> Find -> Find in Page or by hitting the keyboard shortcut Command F. You'll be asked for what word you're looking for.

Hitting Next or Previous will find different instances of that word on the page.
Entering a word into the Replace with field and pressing Replace will replace the current instance of the searched word for the new replace word. You can also hit Replace All to replace all instances on the entire page.

Unlike a document search, you're limited to searching for words and phrases.
